INTRODUCTION
Badminton is a popular and physically demanding game with an interesting history.

Like most sports, it requires that players be physically fit and alert.
The game demands
intense playing time on the court—in fact, games can last anywhere from thirty to ninety
minutes.

Badminton is considered a good sport to help build
and maintain overall fitness.
During an average game,
players jump, run, turn and twist in many different directions.

In fact, a top-level amateur badminton player runs more in a
badminton game than a football end does during a one-hour
football game.
A badminton player also uses his/her arms
more than a pitcher does in the average one and one-half
hour baseball game! In short, badminton is great aerobic
exercise.
It’s a fun sport and also is a means to better
physical fitness.
